MKO’s Liason unit will be in the OCN from February 27th to the 29th, hosting the 8th annual healing gathering for families of missing and murdered indigenous women, girls, 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, and survivors of sexual-based violence.

The liaison unit was first established in 2017 to support families and communities affected by the MMIWG movement; it has since grown to incorporate the needs of even more women struggling with gender-based violence.

The main focus of the groups is advocacy, building partnerships and relationships, and preventing and providing awareness for all forms of violence against women.

The group also focuses on healing, reclaiming the spirit, and empowerment.

Registration for the event will wrap up on February 7th and can be done online or by calling 431-334-8910.
